Reflections of the Women's Marathon

London Olympics 2012

The women's marathon took place on Sunday, 5 August.....

yet the rainy London day didn't slow these ladies down.

Ethiopia's Tiki Gelana not only wins the gold medal -- she set a new Olympic Record

of 2hr 23min 07sec!!

Tiki Gelana is seen here running behind the two Kenyans on the right.

It's pretty obvious when the runners are getting near..... just look for the truck load of press photographers!

Fans stood in the rain for hours to witness the greatest women's marathon runners and cheer them on in front of the Tower of London

Reflections: Generous fans offered extra umbrellas to manyof the yellow vested volunteers.A kind gesture indeed on this rainy Sunday.The volunteers did an outstanding job.Our thanks to all those that gave their time to help make the London Olympics run so smoothly.

Hi Mike - the photographers were on this vehicle that came by in front of all the marathon runners so it was nice for us. Gave us a great lead on timing to be ready for the front runners. It didn't look like a very comfortable ride with them all crammed in there!

Travel photography is my passion.

There's an endless abundance of images to capture from local everyday life to the extraordinary wonders of the world found in more exotic locations.
